************************************************************
*****************
This workshop focuses on discussing different user interface design
methodologies, which will help older adults to access current digital
technologies. For example, ?mobile device? is one of the prominent current
and future forms of mobile computing, including phones, tablets, and
wearables. Mobile devices? ownership rates for older adults are increasing,
yet there are very less concrete principles for designing for older adults.
The absence of guidelines risks marginalizing older adults by increasing
the barriers toward their digital participation. Further, evaluating both
the usability and the social and personal benefits of older adult friendly
mobile interfaces is challenging and not well supported by existing HCI.
Overall, we think that by providing easier access to information through
digital devices, older adults can be better involved in and their Quality
of Life will be enhanced. This workshop welcomes contributions to empirical
studies, theories, design, and evaluation of user interfaces for older
adults. Concretely, we aim to: map the state-of-art of senior-centred
interaction research, build a multidisciplinary community of experts, and
raise the profile of this research within the SIGCHI community.
We invite contributions in one or more of four threads: empirical (e.g.,
specific findings and methodologies related to the workshop theme),
theoretical (e.g. theoretical insights from accessibility, gerontology,
cognitive psychology etc.), design (e.g., interface design practices and
guidelines), and evaluation (e.g., methods and metrics to evaluate
senior-centred interfaces).
We welcome all HCI topics related to older adults
and digital devices. The topics include, but not limited to:
- Effects of age-related decline in perceptual, cognitive, and motor
performance on digital devices use
- Models of user performance and individual differences
- User interface design patterns and metaphors
- Assistive technology devices for older adults
- Societal implications, including digital divide and social exclusion
- Evaluation methodologies
- Ethical concerns
Several key questions will be discussed in the workshop, e.g., 1) How does
user behavior for performing tasks with digital devices change across age?
2) How well can psychological theory capture individual differences in
older adult task behavior? 3) What is the basis for proposing interface
design guidelines for older adults? 4) Can mathematical and simulation
models automatically design an interface adaptive to older user behavior?
5) What kind of design prototypes can be developed to enhance the digital
engagement in the ageing populations?
At the workshop, we intend to showcase research on some of these issues
through short presentations of authors as well as plenary discussions and
birds of a feather groups, focusing on areas of interest that are important
to the greater older adult community.
The 'Interactive Demonstrations' session is a new feature of this year?s
workshop. We strongly encourage authors of position papers to bring a
developed working prototype of their work, if they have. During the
session, other workshop participants will be able to try out different apps
or hardware prototypes. We expect this will provide participants with
valuable feedback and stimulate their senior-centred design ideas for
future improvements. Where feasible, we will coordinate distribution of
participant?s demo apps prior to the workshop.
Submission
A 4-6 page (excluding reference) position paper in the CHI Extended
Abstracts Format (*https://chi2018.acm.org/chi-proceedings-format/
)* (PDF file) should be
sent to older.adult.chi at gmail.com. Position papers will be reviewed based
on relevance to the workshop and the potential for contributing to
discussions on methods and the research agenda to be developed
during the workshop.
Registration
At least one author of each accepted position paper must
attend the workshop and all workshop participants must
register for both the workshop and for at least one day of the conference.
We look forward to receiving your submissions!

===================================================
Call for Participation
6th International Conference on Designs for Learning: DfL 2018
http://www.slate.uib.no/dfl2018
23-25 May 2018
Hosted by the Centre for the Science of Learning & Technology (SLATE) in Bergen, Norway
===================================================
Designs for Learning 2018 is the 6th conference in a series that addresses issues related to designs for learning, technology enhanced learning, design-based research, multimodal knowledge representations, embodied interaction, on-line environments, and learning ecologies.
We invite papers on general topics such as:
reconceptualising teaching, learning and assessment in a digitized era - theoretical and methodological approaches
ethical considerations of technology enhanced learning and learning analytics
methodological issues (designed-based research, interaction design, ethnographic and descriptive methods, mixed methods, multimodal representations)
A special conference thread focuses on the design of learning environments and the implications of design for learning-centric analytics. This means there will be a thread of papers exploring topics such as:
How does the design of learning environments take into consideration the opportunities for including learning-centric analytics as part of the learning and teaching process?
How does the design of learning environments influence what kind of data and information that are captured for learning-centric analytics?
How can data be derived and interpreted from learning environments and how can studies be designed for a more critical and qualitatively sound understanding of data from such environments?
How can information be visualized in learning-centric analytics (Designs for information visualization)?

Subject: [NordiCHI] PhD course "Creativity across Disciplines" at Aarhus
University, Denmark, April 5-6, 2018
Message-ID: <74FA55CF-36C3-453D-8656-1493A6D0B4F8@cavi.au.dk>
*** Apologies for cross-posting ***
Dear all,
At the Department of Digital Design and Information Studies at Aarhus University, Denmark, we are organizing a PhD course, ?Creativity across Disciplines,? that might appeal to some PhD students within the NordiCHI community.
Creativity is a concept that many PhD students encounter, but very often struggle with, because it is challenging to conceptualize and operationalize.
This course aims to bring together PhD students and prominent researchers from a variety of disciplines to further interdisciplinary discussions of theoretical and practical perspectives on working with creativity. It is aimed at PhD students at all stages who are working on creativity-related topics in e.g. design, cultural production, HCI, or psychology, and who want to expand their theoretical and interdisciplinary understanding of creativity in relation to their PhD projects.
The course will feature leading international researchers from various fields of creativity: Mark A. Runco (University of Georgia), Vlad P. Glaveanu (Webster University Geneva), Wendy E. Mackay (INRIA Saclay/Universit? Paris-Sud), Stephanie Taylor (the Open University U.K.), and Bo T. Christensen (Copenhagen Business School).
Deadline for application (resum? and brief motivation??see guidelines) is February 1, 2018.
More information here: http://phdcourses.dk/Course/60368#.WjuqjPnhCUk
Please feel free to distribute the call and to contact me if you have any questions.
Best wishes,
Michael
